You could just do "mplayer -cache 8192 /dev/video0"
you don't need to do the 'cat' step.
I found the cache absolutely necessary for bitrates higher than say,
2mbit.

Scheduling is done via record-v4l2, you can just add your command to
local_conf (figure out what you like via the command-line in terms of
options, etc. then add something to local_conf like this:
VCR_CMD=('/usr/bin/perl -X /usr/bin/record-ivtv --duration=%(seconds)s' +
'--channel %(channel)s --directory='/' --directory-format='./' --output' +
'%(filename)s.mpg'
and then activate the ivtv basic viewing plugin:
(Note that this VCR_CMD is missing a lot of options, like bitrate etc,
so you should add them to your tastes or make a config file)
plugin.remove('tv.mplayer')
plugin.activate('tv.ivtv_basic_tv')
I also enabled the cache for mplayer's TV viewer by setting
'tv' : 'cache 8192 -framedrop',
in MPLAYER_ARGS
After that, everything worked. I was actually pretty happy with how
easily the card worked inside Freevo. I think there are some other
plugins being worked on intermittently, but these options work for day
to day use until they're done.
